Abstract excerpt
Artemisinin has been proven to be an effective antimalarial compound, especially for chloroquine-resistant and cerebral malaria. However, its biosynthesis pathway is still not completely clear. In order to get new clues about artemisinin biosynthesis, metabolic profiling by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied to compare the secondary metabolites of two Artemisia...
